That was the most exciting moment in base ball I ever watched!

He was probably rabid or sick. Most squirrels don't act that way.

I know, I know, I misspelled it. I blame having to type "Baton Rouge" several dozen times earlier in the week.

A rouge squirrel? Since when did they start letting them wear makeup?

Well LA-DE-DA! Aren't we fancy - "rouge" squirrel. On the blue collar north side, we just call 'em red squirrels. I was at Wrigley a few years back and a squirrel ran off the field, up the ivy and into the bleachers, giving one woman a good face clawing while trying to get away. She was later seen "across the street" as we say (glug glug) with her face bandaged up but laughing about it.

Oh hell no! The Cubs hand their black cat and we have our squirrel. Oh well, at least it gives us an excuse for not winning for the next 100 years...

Heh. I like when the squirrel flattens down and goes STEALTH SQUIRREL.
